Ghassan Daghlas, the Palestinian Authority official who monitors settlement activities in the northern West Bank, told Xinhua that the Israeli army forces opened fire at dozens of Palestinian demonstrators near Nablus.
He added the clashes broke out in the area after Israeli army forces prevented the residents of a village south of Nablus from reaching their lands and farms in fear of getting confiscated by the settlers. Enditem
